What’s Been Happening This Week

There was the usual grocery shopping, cleaning, washing lots of clothes and catching up with my blog work. In addition this week I made a really fun dessert that I first dreamed up a few Christmases ago. It’s a Chocolate Mousse mets Tiramisu concoction. It’s sinfully good.

This Valentine’s Weekend our youngest Emma has joined us. I didn’t get to see her for birthday so we are celebrating with her this weekend! “Handy” and Emma helped me get my Spring/Easter decor out of the boat house as well as my seed starting racks.

What I’m Up to Next Week

This week I plan to start adding some of my Easter decor to the house. My Easter decor has evolved into mostly bunnies and natural spring decor that easily moves from early spring, through Easter and up until I decorate for the summer months.

I’m also going to set-up my seed starting station. The decision still hasn’t been made about keeping it in the house or putting it outside in the greenhouse. We’ve had a few warm days and it’s making me lean towards putting it in the new greenhouse. That being said, I know this is very unusual weather for February. I doubt I’ll enjoy trudging through the snow (which will undoubtably happen) to water my seedlings each day.

I can’t remember if I shared with you that we are going to start a new flock of chickens this spring. We lost the last of our older girls this past fall so we are getting babies in late March/early April. I’m pretty excited about this!
